Who's the best rhythm guitarist (or favorite, as this is what it'll inevitably be)?

I would say:

Max Cavalera
James Hetfield (go listen to "Trapped Under Ice" and see what I mean)

James is an amazing rhythm guitar player. Some of my favs or best would be

Jon Schaffer
Oscar Dronjak**
Scott Ian
Jeff Loomis (His leads are amazing as well)
Metal Mike Chlasciak
Dimebag (His riffs are amazing)
Zakk Wylde (Again a better rhythm player then lead IMO)

Jimmy Page - I can think of few other players that could handle the breadth of stylistic changes the way he could...equally brilliant on acoustic and electric.

Jimi Hendrix - When people think of Hendrix, they always focus on the solos...which is a mistake because his chordal vocabulary was staggering. His rhythm work is still hard as hell to play to this day, again a player that was comfortable integrating many different styles of music into his own personal conception.

Malcolm Young - The machine that's kept AC/DC running for all these years.

Robert Fripp
- Good luck trying to figure out the chords this dude plays...

Eddie Van Halen, of course, but I'm sure that's implied in anything I post really.

James Hetfield is an amazing rhythm guitarist indeed, and also one of my favourites.


I agree with Detuned on Malcolm Young for the exact same reason.

Detuned you hit the nail on the coffin with Hendrix. Although I am not a fan at all really, his rhythms are amazing.

Christofer Johnsson - Therion
Max Cavalera
Alex Lifeson - Amazing rhythm guitar player
